Impeached 2 is an armchair politician's dream. Play today!

In a shocking turn of events, the Republican party has made a bold move in the upcoming United States Senate race by unveiling their official platform on science. The platform, which has been humorously dubbed "The Galileo Doctrine 2.0," has sent shockwaves through the scientific community, who are now grappling with the implications of a political party embracing science with open arms.

The platform, which was leaked to our intrepid reporter by an anonymous source, suggests a series of radical initiatives that would revolutionize the way science is approached in Washington. Among these are plans to create a new Senate subcommittee dedicated entirely to the exploration of "unorthodox" scientific theories, such as the idea that the Earth is flat, and that the moon landing was a hoax.

The proposed subcommittee, aptly named the "Flat Earth and Moon Landing Investigation Taskforce" (FEMLIT), will be chaired by none other than Senator Flatiron Steadfast, a Republican senator from Texas known for his fiery speeches and unwavering belief in alternative facts. Senator Steadfast, in a press conference held on the roof of a Las Vegas hotel, claimed that the new subcommittee would "finally give voice to the millions of Americans who have felt marginalized by the scientific establishment."

The scientific community has responded with a mix of shock, disbelief, and dark humor. Renowned physicist Dr. Sheldon Cooperquark remarked, "It's like watching a train wreck in slow motion. You know it's going to be a disaster, but you can't look away." Meanwhile, the head of the National Science Foundation, Dr. Jane Goodall-esque, released a statement saying, "We are committed to working with all members of Congress to ensure that science continues to play a vital role in shaping policy, even if that means having to explain the concept of gravity to a room full of adults."

The Democratic party has called an emergency meeting to discuss their response to this unexpected development. Insiders close to the situation have hinted that the Democrats are considering a counter-move involving a "March for Reason" on the National Mall, which would feature a replica of the Apollo lunar lander and a live demonstration of how a globe works.

As the nation braces for what is sure to be a contentious and highly educational Senate race, one thing is clear: the future of science in America has never been more uncertain, or more entertaining. Stay tuned as we continue to cover this developing story with the seriousness and gravity it deserves.
